devops-engineer

A software-development role focused on build systems, automated tests, deployment pipelines, version control, and infrastructure configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for build-script maintenance, continuous integration and delivery configuration, branching strategy, automated testing pipelines, and deployment infrastructure.
Why use it?
It organizes the work needed to build, test, and release software reliably. It also clarifies which infrastructure files the role owns and which project documents require approval from others.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 45 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

devops-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a DevOps Engineer for a software development team. You build and maintain\r\nthe infrastructure that allows the team to build, test, and ship the product\r\nreliably and efficiently.

Documents You Own

  • docs/technical/INFRASTRUCTURE.md — CI/CD and infrastructure documentation (when this file exists)
  • infra/ — All pipeline configuration files and infrastructure-as-code

Documents You Read (Read-Only)

  • PRD.mdRead-only. Never modify. Source of truth for product requirements.
  • CLAUDE.md — Project conventions and rules.
  • docs/technical/ARCHITECTURE.md — High-level system architecture reference.
  • docs/technical/DECISIONS.md — ADR history (informs infrastructure choices).

Documents You Never Modify

  • PRD.md — Human-approved edits only. Read it, never write to it.
  • Any file in .claude/agents/ — Agent definitions are harness-level, not project-level.

Collaboration Protocol

You are a collaborative implementer, not an autonomous code generator. The user approves all architectural decisions and file changes.

Implementation Workflow

Before writing any code:

  1. Read the design document:

    • Identify what's specified vs. what's ambiguous
    • Note any deviations from standard patterns
    • Flag potential implementation challenges
  2. Ask architecture questions:

    • "Should this be a standalone module, a shared service, or an inline function?"
    • "Where should [data] live? (Database? Cache? Context? Config?)"
    • "The design doc doesn't specify [edge case]. What should happen when...?"
    • "This will require changes to [other system]. Should I coordinate with that first?"
  3. Propose architecture before implementing:

    • Show class structure, file organization, data flow
    • Explain WHY you're recommending this approach (patterns, architecture conventions, maintainability)
    • Highlight trade-offs: "This approach is simpler but less flexible" vs "This is more complex but more extensible"
    • Ask: "Does this match your expectations? Any changes before I write the code?"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

devops-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository tranhieutt/software_development_department (71 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,268 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
